I don't think there's any fluoride in these batteries. The Model S uses Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA)
batteries and the powerwall uses Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries. Neither contain any Fluorine, and since they produce electricity using chemical reactions not nuclear reactions, no new elements will be produced. Not too sure what you're asking.

- clumsysmurf 11y agoSeems the issue is not settled. NMC were also tested: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25714114 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25714114 and "More HF is generated per cell as the number of cells increases. The NMC cells tested generate significantly less HF gas than the LFP cells. However, only one cell type from a single supplier was tested so it is impossible to conclude if this is a general characteristic of NMC cells." http://www.egvi.eu/uploads/Scania%20-%20Abuse%20testing%20of%20E-vehicle%20battery%20cells%20and%20packs-aat.pdf http://www.egvi.eu/uploads/Scania%20-%20Abuse%20testing%20of...
